Over the past ten years, the Prince George’s County towns of Mount Rainier, Brentwood, North Brentwood, and Hyattsville pulled together to revitalize their car-dominated main street, Rhode Island Avenue/Route 1. The corridor is becoming a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented place with a lively arts culture. Arts District Hyattsville, an EYA residential and retail project, is among the many revitalization efforts in the area. This large new development will provide a mix of rowhomes, live-work homes and lofts, along with shops and galleries.  EYA, a major local builder specializing in walkable, urban development is offering 500 new rowhouses and condominiums plus new retail including a Busboys and Poets restaurant.  Join us for a discussion about the Gateway Arts District as a tool for community revitalization and a tour of the emerging EYA rowhouse and main street retail development. The tour will be followed by lunch at Franklin’s Restaurant, Brewery and General Store.
